Chapter 1: Wolf Moon

Lydia POV

It was the first day of the year and I am so ready for it. Being Queen B and most popular girl in the school has it perks but it also comes with certain responsibilities, although most people would assume it was easy. It's not. Being Lydia Martin, Queen of Beacon Hills High was a whole lot harder than anyone would ever think.

I always have to look flawless and completely happy, I can't let anyone know if something's wrong. I can't let my closest girlfriend that's not really a friend Callie know; I can't let my half the time loving boyfriend Jackson, who's also King of the school know; I can't let my best gay Danny know. No one can know and no one notices mainly because they think I'm stupid even though I have the highest GPA in the school, except for maybe some people in the grades above me.

So I let people think I'm not smart, saves me some trouble. But today was the first day of the school year, and I have to look absolutely perfect, no room for mistakes. So today I put on my blue long sleeved shirt and tucked it into my plaid white and grey skirt. I pulled on my grey thigh high socks and then slipped on my black lace up wedges. I walked over to my vanity and started on my makeup while the curling iron got hot. I put on my foundation and concealer and once that made my face look even more flawless than normal I added a hint of blush that looked natural, light pink lip-gloss, a thin line of brown eyeliner and black mascara.

I then curled my hair to perfection so not a hair was out of place. Once I was satisfied I spray a light coat of hair spray then unplugged the curling iron and slipped on my long black pea coat and grabbed my grey hand bag since I already had my school stuff in my locker when I put it there when I got my schedule. Just as I walked out my bedroom I heard a loud honk come from outside and I knew it was Callie. "Mom I'm gone." I yelled and didn't bother to wait for a reply.

I strutted out of the house to see Callie waiting somewhat impatiently in her blue 2010 Toyota Prius. I got in her car as she said, "About time."

"You've been here like half a minute it didn't kill you." I said with a roll of my eyes. I only hung out with her because no other girl in the school gave me cause to want to hang out with them. I gave her a once over, she was wearing a grey dress that was form fitting but not too tight and went a little past her mid-thigh, black pantyhose, black Uggs, and a black coat that was the same length as her dress. Someone needs more color.

"Well so sorry but I don't want to be late." Callie said as she drove.

"Goodie, goodie, you honestly think I'd let us be late. Get a grip." I said with a roll of my eyes. Over the past year she's become increasingly more annoying and I know she's trying to take my place as Queen B, like hell I'd let that happen.

"Did you hear?" she asked as we approached the school.

"Hear what?" I asked as she pulled into a parking space.

"About the body in the woods, some girl who was probably in her 20s was possibly murdered last night. Two joggers found the body in the woods and that's not even the worst part." She said as we got out and started walking towards the school's main entrance.

"Then what's the worst part?" I asked as I glanced back at her then forward to see Stiles Stilinski talking to his best friend who I can't remember the name of but was talking animatedly.

"She had been cut in half, they're looking for the other part." She said as we got closer to Stiles and his friend.

"-The best thing that's happened to this town since, since the birth of Lydia Martin. Hey Lydia, you look- like you're going to ignore me." Stiles said as I walked by but I didn't acknowledge him.

"That's disgusting." I said to Callie as we walked up the steps. She nodded and I fought the small smile that wanted to break through as I recalled what Stiles had said. I mean I know he's been in love with me since the third grade and I don't say that to be cocky but as a fact. He's literally announced it to people before and while I may not acknowledge his existence I've always known he's there. I simply don't speak to him because of the popularity problem. Everyone else seems to think I don't notice him or half the people in this school but I do. Jackson might not but I notice.

I know Stiles is in love with me, I know that the Erica Reyes girl in our grade suffers from epilepsy and also has a crush on Stiles which he still hasn't noticed, I know that Vernon Boyd who goes simply by Boyd works at the Beacon Hills Ice Rink as the Zamboni driver, and then sadly there's Isaac Lahey who gets beaten all the time by his father and I wish I could help him but I don't know how.

This is part of the problem with being Queen B of the school, I can't talk to people I secretly want to talk to unless it's to insult them, sadly. I can't help the people that need help although no one notices them but me. Hell I can't even really be me and I hate it but I can't give up the popularity status, it's too late.

I said goodbye to Callie, thank god, as we parted and went to our separate classes. I walked into Mrs. Adams's History class and found a seat next to Danny who smiled brightly at me. "Hey Danny." I said with a smile as got his things out.

"Hey you look good today Lyd," he said with a small smile.

"Don't I always?" I asked playfully. This was why I liked Danny so much, he was like the best girlfriend I've never had and I seem to be more myself with him.

"Of course." He said as he flashed a grin when the teacher clapped her hands.

"As you all know there indeed was a body found in the woods, last night. And I am sure your eager little minds are coming up with various disturbing scenarios as to what happened. But I am here to tell you that the police have a suspect in custody which means you can give your undivided attention to the syllabus which is on your desk out lining this semester." She said as she held up her own syllabus and a chorus of groans rang through the room.

I leaned over to Danny, "Is it just me or did that sound rehearsed?" I whispered to him.

"It wasn't just you." He confirmed as picked up his syllabus. I nodded as I leaned back up in my seat before glancing out the window. Sitting outside the school was a girl with long pretty dark brown hair that made a curtain around her face as she dug through her bag and seemed to be on her phone. She had on blue skinny jeans, a grey shirt, blue scarf, brown knee high boots, and tan jacket that was to die for. She dug though her bag for a second more before hanging up and putting her phone in her purse as the principal came into view and he walked over and they headed back to the door. Finally, a new girl.

"Well begin with the Greek mythology and Othello on page 210." Mrs. Adams said as the girl and the principal disappeared from my view.

When the bell rang signaling the end of last class everyone bolted out of their seats for the door. Geez first day and they're already ready to bolt, pathetic. I walked casually to the door smiling at the teacher as I passed only to bump into someone who stumbled back I looked up to see Isaac staring at me fearfully even though he stood a good head taller than me. I watched his face pale, "Ly-Ly-Lydia I'm so sorry." He said shyly as I noticed the bruise welling up right underneath his cheek bone.

I gave him a warm smile, "It's fine Isaac, I'm fine. Are you?" I asked him as I righted myself.

His eyes got really wide, "What?" he asked me the confusion showing clearly on his face.

"I asked if you were alright because you were the one to stumble, not me, I wanted to make sure you were ok." I said kindly to him.

"I-I'm um I'm fine and sorry, I hope I didn't upset you." He said the last part so quietly I'm surprised I heard him.

"Why are you sorry? It was an accident and I wasn't watching where I was going so I should be apologizing not you." I said to him, "And why would I be mad or upset?" I asked and I'm surprised he hasn't run off by now.

"You don't need to apologize Lydia, and well I ran into you if it were Jackson-" he started

"If I were Jackson I would have probably shoved you against the wall and told you to watch where you're going, but I'm not and besides I love him but he's got a bad temper." I said "Look don't worry about it but don't you have a lacrosse practice to get to?" I asked and his eyes got wide, "Hurry and go before Coach makes you do laps for being late." I said and he nodded before took off out the door and down the hallway and I smiled at how sweet he was. He'd be an amazing friend and I really want to be his friend because I swear the boy might as well be a kicked puppy dog that's been stranded on the side of the road, alone and scared.

I sighed and started walking down the hall; I plan on finding the new girl and getting her to come to the lacrosse practice with me. "Are you coming to practice Lyd?" I hear from behind me.

I spun around to see Danny standing there readjusting the strap on his shoulder. "Well duh, but I was gonna go invite the new girl." I said

"Kay, see you in a few." He said as he ran towards the boy's locker room.

I walked down the hallway scanning over everyone looking for the new girl and I spotted her standing a little bit down the hall staring at something on the other side as I walked towards her I glanced down to see her looking at Stiles' friend who was staring at her too like a love struck fool, he probably was. "That jacket is absolutely killer. Where'd you get it?" I asked

She froze momentarily before saying, "My mom was the buyer for a boutique back in San Francisco." She looked like good BFF material.

I eyed her for a minute before pointing a finger at her, "And you are my new best friend." I said as I gave a small laugh and flashed her a genuine smile when I felt someone snake their arm around my waist.

"Hey," I heard Jackson's familiar voice say in a slightly husky tone.

"Hey Jackson," I said with a smile as he leant in and kissed me. This was what I liked about seeing him the first time on the first day; he was very hands on and lovey. After he kissed me I turned slightly so my back was to his chest as he wrapped one arm around my waist and put the other hand on my hip and spoke to the new girl, "So this weekend, there's a party." I said

"A party?" she asked

"Yeah Friday night you should come." Jackson said as he propped the hand that had been on my hip against the lockers.

"Uh I can't, it's family night this Friday." She said "Thanks for asking."

"You sure, I mean everyone's going after the scrimmage." Jackson explained.

"You mean like football?" she asked and I cracked a smile, as if.

"Football's a joke here." Jackson said as he laughed slightly, "The sport here's lacrosse, we've won the state championship for the past three years." He said as I ran a hand across his hairline fondly.

"Because of a certain team captain." I said proudly.

"Well we practice in a few minutes." Jackson said "That is if you don't have anywhere else-"

"Well I was going to-" she started but I cut her off.

"Perfect, you're coming." I said as I grabbed her wrist and pulled her along. After a moment she walked in stride with Jackson and I and I could visibly see her relaxing slowly.

"I'll see you girls there." Jackson said as he pecked me on the lips and ran to catch up Matt Daehler and Kyle Rhodes.

"Bye." I said as left. "Hang on one second, let me get my stuff from my locker." I said as I got to my locker. Opening it I pulled out my pea coat and buttoned it up and slipped on my dark gray beanie with the black flower on the side before I put on my black fingerless gloves. "Come on," I said as I looped my arm through hers and we walked to the lacrosse field. As we walked I saw Callie talking to Ashley. Callie looked over at me and the new girl after Ashley pointed 'discreetly' at us. Callie's face went red with anger as she saw me happily walking with the new girl who was relaxing much quicker now. "You walk on ahead I forgot to do something, I'll catch up in a second." I said her and she nodded, slipping her arm out of mine and continuing on. I walked to Callie and smirked, "By the way, red doesn't really suit you."

"You bitch." She sneered.

"Like that's the first time I've heard that." I replied bitchily as I spun on my heel with my hair slapping her in the face before running gently back up to the new girl, "Ok I'm back." I said as I slipped my arm though hers again.

When we got out to the field I got up on the bleachers first with her behind me. I sat down and looked up to see Stiles' friend staring again, with a smile I rolled my eyes. I glanced at her from the corner of my eye to see her smiling at him and I glanced down to see her name written neatly on her green binder, 'Allison Argent'. I had a small smile on my face as I watched the boys get ready. I scanned over the boys looking for Isaac or Jackson when Allison spoke, "Who is that?" she asked looking over at Stiles' friend.

"Him?" I asked "I'm not sure who he is?" I said as I tilted my head to the side, "Why?"

She shook her head as I looked over at her, "He's in my English class." She said as the whistle blew and it looked like Stiles' friend was in pain only to be hit in the face by the first ball, all the boys, including Coach laughed.

"Way to take it in the face McCall." One of the boys yelled. That's who he was Scott McCall. Jackson's mentioned him being one of the boys always on the bench. I watched him get back up and caught the next ball. I watched the boys in line all lean to look at him.

"Yeah!" I heard and I thought it was Stiles. He caught the next ball, and the next two after that.

I leaned forward in my seat, "He's seems like he's pretty good." Allison said

"Yeah, very good." I said as I paid a little more attention to the boy at the goal. He seemed to be getting excited when I saw Jackson cut in front of Matt, I think. He put his game face on and ran for Scott. He jumped up and hurtled the ball to the goal. Scott caught it and Stiles jumped up and cheered. I followed his lead and stood up and cupped my hands around my mouth and cheered loudly.

"That is my friend!" Stiles yelled as I cheered again. Jackson looked over at me and I looked back at him and tilted my head at him. Scott threw the ball over his shoulder and it landed perfectly in the assistant coach's net.

After the practice was over I walked to Jackson's silver Porsche and waited because I didn't want to ride with that bitch of an ex-friend Callie. "What the hell was that Lydia!" he yelled as he came up to me.

"What?" I asked only partially confused.

"Why the hell were you cheering for McCall when he caught my ball?" Jackson asked angrily.

"I wasn't cheering because he caught your ball I was cheering because someone on your team is finally improving I mean your practically the only one with enough skill to win, with him being that good you don't have to overwork yourself," I lied flawlessly even though I was cheering because he caught Jackson's ball.

He visibly calmed, "Oh, well don't do it again Lydia you're my girlfriend, it looks bad." He said in a much calmer voice. I kissed him softly and meaningfully.

"I'm sorry Jackson, I didn't think it would upset you so much." I said truthfully. He kissed me again, rougher this time, more passionate.

"It's fine," he said gruffly. I pecked his lips again.

"Can you give me a ride home?" I asked him

He smiled at me, "Of course." I smiled back as I slipped into the passenger's seat of his car. Once he was in I slipped my hand into his, and he gripped my hand and I turned on the radio. "So did you hear?" he asked me

"About the body in the woods?" I asked and he nodded, "Yeah Callie told me this morning and then Mrs. Adams mentioned it this morning." I said as he sped through the city. He arrived at my house within minutes, "Thanks for the ride." I said as I kissed him on the lips.

"Anytime Lyd, love you." He said and it caught me by surprise, normally I said it first.

"Love you too Jackson." I said with a smile as I pecked his cheek and got out of the car and once I shut the door he was already pulling out of the driveway. I walked up to the door and unlocked it quickly and slipped inside making sure to lock it behind me, "Mom I'm home!" I called just in case she was here.

I walked up to my room and dropped my purse on the ground next to my vanity and I pulled off the beanie and placed it back on the rack in my closet that had some of my other hats hanging on it. I walked over to my gloves drawer and slipped off the ones I was currently wearing and placed them back where they went. I changed out of my outfit and placed everything that could be put back up, up and the rest in my hamper. I then pulled on my black sports bra and matching black girl boxers before pulling on a pair of dark brown yoga pants, a light purple tank top, then a neon green long sleeved athletic shirt, and I pulled on a pair of neon green Nikes.

I walked over to my vanity and sat for a moment as I grabbed a hair band and pulled my still curly hair up into a high ponytail. I got up from the vanity and grabbed my armband to hold my cell phone and slipped my phone into the holder and plugged the ear buds in before zipping up the arm band's phone holder. I turned on F**kin Perfect by Pink as I slipped out the back door and locking it.

I walked through my backyard and smiled as Prada yapped happily as I passed her. I slipped through the gate and jogged through the woods. As I ran I slowly picked up the pace and I watched the trees go by in a slight blur and let myself fall into the music, becoming oblivious to the outside world although it was probably a bad idea due to the fact a girl was murdered not even a week ago.

As I turned around a tree to the right I slammed into something that for a second I thought I'd hit a tree but trees don't catch you before you hit the ground. I felt warm hands steadying me and when I blinked I saw an incredibly handsome man standing in front of me. He had jet black hair and emerald eyes, and wore a black t-shirt that was slightly fitting, black leather jacket with the collar popped up, black jeans, and black shoes I couldn't identify. "What are you doing here?" he asked as I pulled my ear buds out. "Huh? This is private property." He said and my eyes widened in shock.

"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't know I was just going for a run, I get I slipped off my normal path." I said, suddenly becoming partially shy.

He looked intensely at me, "You shouldn't be out here, don't you know that there's been a murder of a young woman out here?" he asked

"I- I um yeah I know." I said

"And you still came out here?" he asked incredulously.

"Yeah," I said in a small voice.

"Go home, before it gets dark. You could get hurt." He said mysteriously before walking. I stood stunned to silence with the only sound coming from my ear buds where the music was blaring. I took a minute before I felt my body freezing up. I knew him, he was Derek Hale. A couple years older than me but had a huge family though most of them died in a fire around 6 or 7 years ago and I had known some of his cousins. The family had been huge and most died in that fire save for less than a handful so far as I know. I can't help but wonder what he's doing back.

Once I realized this I turned back and ran as fast as my legs could carry me. I don't know why but something suddenly felt very wrong. I ran back home in half the time it took me running in the first place and slipped passed the gate. Prada once again yapped happily as I came back and I smiled and picked her up in my arms and unlocked the back door.

I jogged up to my room and sat Prada down on my bed. After she was situated I pulled off the running gear and tossed it into the hamper and sat my phone on the vanity. I pulled on a pair of blue plaid pajamas with a long sleeved shirt and booty shorts. I went over to my bookshelf and started pulling out all my old year books from 4th grade and down to pre-school.

I opened then up and started flipping through them. I saw the name 'Hale' repeated several times. I noted some of the names: Cora Hale, in my grade; Sarah Hale, Jeremy Hale in the grade below me; Greg Hale, Grace Hale 2 grades below me; and Lucy Hale, Lucas Hale in the grade below Grace and Greg. Then I remember Laura and Derek above me. That's 9 of them 7 below and with me and then Derek and Laura. God only knows how many there are in all. Damn I don't even have a sibling, his family's freaking huge!

I then heard thunder rumble outside and decided to jump in the shower. I let the hot water run over me washing off the sweat and makeup that had built up over the day. I washed my hair with the new bubblegum shampoo and conditioner and scrubbed myself down with my Dove soap. Once I was done I let the hot water run over me a moment more before getting out.

After my hair and body were dried I slipped on fresh underwear and pajamas back on before slipping into my bed and falling into a semi-restless sleep.

The next day after I school I sat next to Allison as we waited for first elimination to begin. I watched as Stiles spoke frantically to Scott who walked off with the rest of the team and I saw Allison wave to Scott who waved back when Coach spoke to him. I watch the team break off and cheered. We watched as Jackson took down Scott when he first got the ball. Then it was Jackson and Scott's turn to start, Scott got the ball and ran through the field avoiding everyone and flipped over three guys before throwing the ball in the goal.

"Wow." I said and Allison nodded, everyone went silent as Coach yelled at Scott before telling him he made first line and everyone cheered, Allison and I included.

"Hey Lydia." Allison said catching my attention.

"Yeah?" I asked

She looked at me and smiled, "So I'm coming to the party." She said and I cheered.

"Really?! I thought you had family night?" I asked excitedly.

"I did but my dad had to go out of town for work so it was cancelled." She said

"Oh cool I guess do you have a date because I'm sure I could-" I started but she cut me off.

"Yes I have a date." She said and I knew who asked her by gut feeling

So I simply said, "Great." With a smile and went off to go find Jackson, "See you later Allison!" I called over my shoulder. As I walked back into the school I smiled at Danny who was coming out of the locker room. "Hey Danny." I said smiling.

"Hey Lyd, he'll be out in a second." Danny said as he walked over and kissed my cheek, "See you at the party." He said with a smile.

"See you." I said as he walked away at the same time Jackson came out, "You did great today." I said with a smile as he gripped my hips tightly.

"I always do." He said as he captured my lips with his.

"We can do that at the party but right now I need you to get
me home so I can set up and so you can go shower." I said as he nodded and walked me to his car. Once we got in he sped again all the way to my house. I swear it surprises me that Sheriff Stilinski doesn't catch him.

"See you soon babe." He said

I pecked his lips, "See you soon." I said before getting out of the car. He drove off as I walked inside. "Prada!" I called when I walked in the door and my adorable puppy came running. "Come on." I said to her as I walked quickly up the stairs. I set her on my bed and said, "Mommy's having a party so you have to stay in here ok?" she licked my nose in response. "Good girl." I said.

I sat my stuff down and went down into my basement and grabbed the stringed lights. I walked outside and strung them up carefully and went ahead and plugged them in and on. After that I got the punch ready and the sound system out and put my iPod on and set it to the top 100 along with a few others.

Once that was set up I went to my room and got a shower before pulling on a blue form fitting strapless dress and put on foundation and concealer, black eyeliner and mascara, pink lip-gloss, and pink blush. I then re-curled my hair to perfection as always then slipped on a pair of heels and some bracelets on my left arm. As soon as I was done, the doorbell rang. "Party time." I cheered to Prada before walking quickly downstairs and opened the door to see a throng of people already waiting, "Let the party begin!" I cheered as I let them in and turned on the music.

Half an hour later the place was packed and Jackson had me pushed against the wall of my house making out with me. We had been fighting for dominance with our tongues when he suddenly moved on and attacked my neck but made sure to not leave hickeys, I hate that. I looked around the party when someone alone at the gate caught my eyes due to the barking door behind him.

I watched him looked back at the dog who was suddenly quiet as he did so. My eyes locked on Derek who was wearing the same leather jacket, a white t-shirt, black jeans, and black shoes. When the dog was silenced he glanced back at someone then to me. As Jackson attacked my neck I locked eyes with Derek. He stared back at me but Jackson got a part of my neck that had me tilting my head back giving him better access. When I looked back Derek was gone.

Later on Scott and Allison were dancing and I locked eyes with Scott with Jackson still going on my neck and I gripped and pulled on Jackson's hair and his belt loop before going back to kissing Jackson. When I looked over at Scott and Allison again he was pulling away from then running off. Not long after Jackson's phone went off. "What is it?" I asked

"Shit, it's my dad, he wants me home now. Is he freaking kidding he knows that I'm at this party?!" Jackson said angrily.

"It's fine you don't need to piss him off, go home." I said as I kissed him on the mouth once more. He nodded, "But first, wipe my lip-gloss off your mouth." I said with a smirk. He kissed my cheek and then left quickly.

I walked through the house looking for someone else and saw Danny. "Hey Lyd." He said as he came over and kissed me on the cheek.

"Hey Danny, find any hot guys?" I asked playfully

"No gay ones." He said mock sadly.

"I'm sorry but look on the plus side; just about all gay guys are hot so when you do get a guy he'll look like a male model. You best share." I teased.

"Nope he'll be all mine." Danny said and I pouted.

"Damn." I said making him laugh.

Sometime between midnight and 2 in the morning the party had ended and Danny had stayed to help me clean up the mess. It wasn't that bad save for a few cups tossed here and there. Nothing too bad to handle, then Danny and I have finally cleaned up the trash and put the lights and sound system and snack stuff away it had been like 4 in the morning. "Thanks for helping out Danny, it would have taken forever by myself." I said

He nodded, "It's fine Lyd, go to bed I'll see you Monday." He said with a smile as he headed for the front door.

"Bye love ya Danny." I said

"Love you too." Danny said as he left.

After the last bell rang on Monday I met up with Allison at her locker. "Hey Ally," I said as I walked up to her.

"Hey Lyd." She said with a small smile.

"Ok what the hell did McCall do to you at the party, do I need to have Jackson kick his ass?" I asked her bluntly.

"What?!" she exclaimed in shock.

"You've been mopey all freakin weekend and all day today. I saw him turn and leave you at the party, what happened?" I asked her.

"He said he would be right back and then he got in his car and drove away, his friend had to give me a ride home." She said

"That asshat and who gave you a ride home, Stiles?" I asked her curiously.

"No not Stiles, Derek. He seems older, has he already graduated?" she asked me.

"Wait was he wearing black leather jacket, white t-shirt, black pants and shoes?" I asked and she nodded, "Yeah he graduated a while ago, I didn't know he and Scott were friends." I said

"But you know him?" she asked me.

"Yeah well not personally, I bumped into him when I was running in the woods and then I saw him at the party." I said. "Have you talked to Scott?" I asked her

"Not yet."

"Are you going to forgive him?" I asked

"He best apologize first." She said

"Hell yeah." I said and she laughed, "Go, go get your man." I said before pushing her towards the front entrance.

She smiled, "Maybe."
